The title says it all...
Thor will be reunited with royalty this December as I cross the northern borders of Maharashtra and Gujarat and enter the desert kingdom of Rajasthan. Planning to do the following route:
Dec 25 - Day 1 - Mumbai to Ahmedabad
Dec 26 - Ahmedabad to Jaisalmer
Dec 27 - Jaisalmer to Bikaner
Dec 28 - Bikaner to Jodhpur
Dec 29 - Jodhpur to Ajmer
Dec 30 - Ajmer to Deogarh
Dec 31 - Deogarh to Udaipur
Jan 1 - Udaipur to Mount Abu
Jan 2 - Mount Abu to Mumbai
I might want to add a day here and there wherever it is worthwhile and I'll take your expert opinions to work that out.
I need help with the following:
1. Places to stay in the above cities. Prefer someplace that is SBK friendly. Don't mind moderately expensive rooms if it will enhance my experience of Rajasthan but I'll want to limit my total lodging to 50k total.
2. Need to identify IOCL petrol stations that sell Xtrapremium along my routes. If this isn't possible - I can compromise with BP Speed. I am pretty sure I won't get 97 Octane anywhere but if I can - please point it out to me
3. Can anyone tell me what kind of temperatures I can expect during the day and night?
4. Are there any "problem zones" with unfriendly people/cops along the way? Seeing as I may be traveling alone (someone has PM'd me expressing interest to join in but I'll let them raise their hand here). If I have company - will make things easier but better to be prepared.
5. I'd like to avoid tourist destinations. Ken has given me some pointers and I'll be reopening my discussions with him soon...nobody better than Ken when it comes to this area of India
Cheers!
